## Probable cause

THE PILOT'S EXCESSIVE APPLICATION OF BRAKES.  A FACTOR IN THE ACCIDENT WAS THE PILOT'S LACK OF EXPERIENCE IN THIS MODEL AIRCRAFT.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll
  - weather condition - crosswind
  - compensation for wind conditions - inadequate, pilot in command
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command
- Nose over, landing - roll
  - brakes(normal) - excessive, pilot in command (cause)
  - lack of total experience in type of aircraft, pilot in command (contributing factor)

## Analysis

THE FLIGHT PURPOSE WAS TO BUILD TIME IN MODEL:  THE PILOT HAD 6 HOURS, ALL RECENT.  THE PILOT LANDED WITH A RIGHT CROSSWIND.  AS SPEED DECREASED ON ROLLOUT, THE AIRPLANE WEATHERVANED RIGHT.  THE PILOT USED LEFT BRAKE TO AUGMENT YAW CONTROL, AND THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER.
